To keep facial skin healthy and looking great, we must not forget about the use of tonics , which, when applied daily, provide us with many benefits.
An ideal facial treatment involves cleansing the skin, applying a toner, and moisturizing. However, toners are not widely used.
The use of toner is very important, as it helps normalize the pH of the skin after cleansing, refreshing it and regulating the amount of oil. In addition, it helps keep the pores clean and allows deep hydration, penetrating into the tissues.
Below are the DIY toner recipes to improve the appearance of facial skin:
- Holy Basil Toner for Acne Control
Grind a few holy basil leaves and add them to 1/2 cup of hot water. Mix well, strain, and add 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel. - Fenugreek Tonic
Wash a handful of fenugreek seeds and boil them in a cup of water. Strain and use as a tonic. - Turmeric Tonic:
Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric and 3 teaspoons of lemon juice to 1/4 cup of warm water. Mix well and use as a tonic. - Honey and Egg Toner:
